66th Birthday - Time to Begin a New Blog

I decided to try to do a blog a year beginning on my birthday. The previous blogs have been printed and shared and that is the goal that I have for this one as well. In my blogs I want to share my present experiences as well as memories from the past that my children can share with their children. I want them to be able to know my past the way that I wish I knew my parent's past. Now that they are gone, I am reminded almost daily of questions I wish that I had asked. There are so many unanswered questions. Hopefully some of those questions will be answered by me through my blogs.

Each year since my 60th birthday I have tried to do something active to celebrate and this year was no exception. I was housesitting for my nephew, Tim in Laguna Hills and I ran for 66 minutes on the beach to commemorate my 66th birthday.

Not a bad way to celebrate my birthday. I continued the celebration with a meal at In-N-Out Burger that probably undid all of the good done by my run. But it sure was good. A typical Southern California meal from my past. I share a birth year with In-N-Out so it seemed only right.

While I was in Southern California I did a lot, saw a lot and reconnected with a lot of people. I will do additional posts about the trip because it was so eventful.

Like I do whenever I travel, I found a race to run while I was in Orange County and it was actually at the Orange County Fairgrounds. It was a fun event despite the humid conditions.

First race as a 66 year old! I finished 2nd in my age group in a total field of 2458. Fun day!
